Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies

Recipe from the Medical Medium blog page:

https://www.medicalmedium.com/medical-medium-blog

Healing doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy a sweet treat when you need one! The Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies I am sharing with you today are delicious and have none of the harmful ingredients often found in some store-bought kinds. The bright pop of raspberry jam nestled in a rich, nutty dough makes these gorgeous cookies a wonderful treat for yourself, to share with friends or family, or pack into your children's school lunchboxes.

  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup tahini
  • ½ cup coconut sugar or maple sugar
  • ½ teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white sesame seeds
  • ½ cup raspberry jam (see Tips, below)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt in a mixing bowl and set aside.

Process together the tahini, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract in a food processor until smoothly combined. Add the almond flour mixture to the food processor and pulse until well combined. If mixture is still crumbly, add water by the tablespoon as needed until smooth dough forms.

Form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in the sesame seeds before placing them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave at least 2 inches between the cookies. Press a thumbprint into the center of each cookie and place the cookies into the oven. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove the cookies from the oven and fill each one with 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam. Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool.

Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse (Made with NO Dairy)

Recipe from "The Hidden Veggies"

3/4 cup aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas or white beans)

1/4 tsp cream of tartar or lemon juice.

1 TBS vanilla extract

2/3 cup organic powdered sugar ( U can make organic powdered sugar by placing organic cane sugar in a coffee grinder. Add 1 tsp organic corn starch and blend until sugar turns to powdered sugar)

Melt 1/4 cup refined coconut oil

add 1/4 cup cacaco powder. Put aside

Use a mixer to beat the liquid until it gets foamy. Add 1/4 tsp cream of tarter to help it hold

its shape.Continue to beat the liquid for 5 more minutes on high until it forms stiff peaks.

Add 1 TBS vanilla extract and beat for another 2 minutes.

After you have whipped it for about 7 minutes, slowly add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat the mixture.

Continue beating for another 2 minutes until all the sugar is incorporated and it maintains firm peaks. Turn off mixer and stir in cacao and coconut oil. Mix again on Low for 10 seconds.(Just enough to get the chocolate mixed in) DO NOT over mix or you will deflate the mousse.

Pour mousse into glasses or serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

I find I can freeze the mousse. It does not freeze solid so it makes a great frozen dessert
